Testing Delays Resulting in Increased Identification Accuracy in Line-Ups and Show-Ups.

Dekle, Dawn J.

Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, v25 n3-4 p35-49 1997

Investigated time delays (immediate, two-three days, one week) between viewing a staged theft and attempting an eyewitness identification. Compared lineups to one-person showups in a laboratory analogue involving 412 subjects. Results show that across all time delays, participants maintained a higher identification accuracy with the showup presentation. (RJM)
